Menopause Is a New Chapter - Let’s Make It Your Strongest

It’s time to feel energised, strong, and in control of your health

- even when your body feels like it’s working against you.

Turning Information into Transformation

No woman should suffer through perimenopause to postmenopause journey.

You can take back control and feel like yourself again.

Thrive Over 45 will give you the tools to support your heart, metabolism, and hormones while reversing the effects of stress, inactivity, and poor nutrition.

Transformations You Can Trust

Cassie is absolutely amazing. She is far more than a trainer – her overall focus on wellbeing and wrapping all the essentials of life like metabolic health, stress, sleep and good nutrition into a 12 week plan is groundbreaking. And these are tools that take you far beyond three months. Cassie’s support has given me confidence and energy, equipping me with strategies to deal with daily pressure. This isn’t just a programme it’s life changing.

Why Work With Me?

I’m Cassie, Personal Trainer, Perimenopause to Post Menopause Coach and founder of Thrive Over 45.

I’ve worked in the fitness industry as a personal trainer for over 20 years, and for the past 15 years I’ve owned and operated my own gym, coaching women every day through the changes that come with midlife and beyond.

Two years ago, I began my own perimenopause journey and despite my background in fitness and health, it quickly became a maze of conflicting advice and frustration. Suddenly, the strategies that had always worked no longer did, and I found myself searching for answers - just like so many of the women I work with today.

That experience made me even more passionate about helping women navigate this transition with clarity, strength, and the right support.

I now combine my real-world coaching experience with the latest science around hormones, sleep, stress, nutrition, and movement, to help you take back control of your body and your health.

Whether you’re already active but frustrated by lack of results, or feeling unsure where to start, I’ll meet you where you are, with practical, personalised support that fits your life.

Every woman deserves to thrive through perimenopause, menopause, and well beyond and I’m here to help you thrive in this next chapter of life.
